Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201502799-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A route for fabricating structurally perfect cobalt ferrite magnetic nanostructures</bold> is demonstrated. Ultrathin islands of up to 100 μm² with atomically flat surfaces and free from antiphase boundaries are developed. The extremely low defect concentration leads to a robust magnetic order, even for thicknesses below 1 nm, and exceptionally large magnetic domains. This approach allows the evaluation of the influence of specific extrinsic effects on domain wall pinning. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgkhm1fbcp" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
